IN A BAD BOX.

The Me-. York Sun, which is strongly
Democratic, but opposed to Mr.. Cleveland,
puts him in very bad box by publishing
the following letter from A;torEey-General
Garland, written more than a month before
the attempted return of the rebel battlehaSs,
and which distinctly informed him as to the
law, which is as applicable to the battlefiags
as TO the Lee relics:

the transmittas to show how the property got into
basis for an opinion as to where the right Of prop

but the possession is found In the Government.
The uncertainty to title would render ultimate
disposition OF the property a subject properly
within the range of Congressional cogniz thce than
that of the Executive. I would therefore respect
fully suggest that the status OF the property ~ IL

siderstion. am. sir. very respectfully,

In giving the letter the Sun says:

The Sun also makes the matter the sub
ject of long and very grave editorial, which.
after reciting all the facts, concludes thus:

have ventured tn sign authorize his two state

The main question is whether the President

A BATCH OF LETTERS.

We devote the third page of this weeks
paper TO the publication of number of let
tiers from comrades in various parts of the
country expressing their opinions of the
proposed visit of the President TO the Ma
tional Encampment We have not publish
ed all of those opposed TO the visit, because
they would entirely occupy several issues Of
Tine NATIONAL TRIBUNE TO the exclusion
OF everything else. There never has been
such an overwhelming expression of senti-
ment since the veto Of the Dependent Pen
sion Bill. The feeling is even greater on
this subject, for many who said nothing in
regard 10 the yeioes are alarmed at the dam
ger that menaces the Order from the pro-
posed visit They not only dread the un-
pleasant consequences Of the presence at the
Encampment of man who has given the
veterans SO much reason to dislike him, but
they fear the result of trying 10 mix two
such gatherings as the GAR. National En-
campment and the crowds from the South
and Southwest which will be attracted TO st.
Louis by Mr.. Cleveland's presence.
While we have not printed one-tenth Of
the letters we have received from comrades
protesting against Mr.. Cleveland's presence,
we have given all these who favor il with
but three exceptions These three excep-
tons are-singularly enough-all from re-
cently-appointed Postmasters, and are not
arguments, but coarse Trades of abuse which
no paper would admit to its columns.
There is one thing about the letters we
print 10 which we would call the attention
of the President and his friends The writ
ers do not skulk behind assumed names, but
come out in manly. soldier like style with
their real names, companies, regiments and
post-office addresses. They are men whose
records will stand investigation, and one of
their letters is worth more than thousand

SOME papers took much comfort out of
letter from a Mr.. Frazier, who described
himself as a member of the Philadelphia
Brigade, and which asked that the Presi-
dent return the three flags which that
gallant organization captured from Pickett's

Frazier, who was appointed to an Office in
Philadelphia, was never on active duty with
the Philadelphia Brigade, having been taken
sick shortly after he enlisted in the list Pa
The members of that regiment and the 69th,

 gentleman by the name of Adams, who lives near Duncan. He car both smoke and chew. He lookf like Geronimo, and it is thought that he IS related to the old war rior. He seldom talks but he is fighter worthy of more noble race. He came near cutting one little boy to death, as small as he is, and would have succeeded but far the interference of older peo- pie.

Both bride and groom looked their best and re- ceived the congratulations of their friends, looking, no doubt as they felt, supremely happy.
